108 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 5-unit, 4-story tenement building at 108 1st Avenue in the East Village, built in 1900 and owned by Parke Leatherman, has maintained generally acceptable conditions over recent years, though several concerns merit attention. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations from 2021 through 2024, despite more recent filings (most recently showing zero infested units in the filing period ending October 2024). The building is currently facing an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection as of September 2024.
Safety improvements have been necessary over the past few years, with multiple Local Law 188 Compliance Inspections taking place, including one in 2024 that remains active, and a completed inspection in 2023 that warranted no enforcement action. The building has undergone various maintenance and compliance inspections over the years, showing a mixed record of violations and corrections. Notable issues have included electrical wiring concerns in 2023, multiple bedbug reporting violations, and a boiler-related violation in 2022 that resulted in an Oath violation.
The property has maintained relatively good rodent control, with passed inspections in 2023 and 2024, though there was one failed inspection in February 2023. Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 and 2022 indicate problems with unauthorized temporary wiring in the basement and inadequate tenant protection plans during construction work, though these have been addressed with one remaining active violation. The building's maintenance history shows prompt attention to most violations, with several resolved through proper certification of correction.
